Launch of monthly subscription service for podcast creators
AudioBoom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken word audio on-demand
platform, announces the launch of a monthly subscription service
for spoken word podcast creators. The new subscription service will
mean that AudioBoom should now be able to monetise the thousands of
content creators on its platform which do not attract advertisers
due to their smaller audiences.
The subscription service will cost US$9.99 per month and will
apply to all existing podcast creators on the AudioBoom platform
achieving less than 10,000 listens per month. The US$9.99
subscription service is also being introduced for existing podcast
creators on the AudioBoom platform achieving in excess of 10,000
listens per month but which do not want advertising linked to their
podcasts.
New podcast creators joining the platform are now given the
option to go 'ad-supported' if they already have more than the
10,000 listeners on their RSS feeds or they can choose the US$9.99
per month package if they are new to podcasting and are looking to
grow an audience. Once the podcaster is achieving more than 10,000
listens per month, they will automatically be sent an invitation to
move on to AudioBoom's 'ad-supported' plan and start generating
revenues for themselves.
Subscribers to the US$9.99 audio on-demand service will receive
the following features:
-- Capacity to upload and host up to five unique podcasts per month
-- Limited to 10,000 downloads per month
-- Distribution via iTunes, iHeartRadio, Spotify, GooglePlay and Stitcher
-- Advanced back-end analytics software to interrogate audience metadata
-- Embeddable audio players for third party websites
-- Seamless social media card integration for Facebook and Twitter
Rob Proctor, CEO of AudioBoom, said: "As we see more and more
success with our monetisation of top tier podcasts and repurposed
radio, and as we look to the future of ad-supported content with
our recently launched original podcast network, we see value in
continuing to provide a place for emerging content creators who are
not yet ready to monetise through advertising."
"The US$9.99 subscription service allows AudioBoom to offer the
great tools and services for which we're known while still growing
our business, reducing our costs and increasing profits."
